Rujub, the Juggler

CHAPTER VIII
7/31

Mrs.Hunter was telling me that they have had some tigers that have been very troublesome round there, and you will all have an opportunity of showing your skill and bravery.
I know that Mr.Richards and Mr.Wilson are burning to distinguish themselves." "It would be great fun to shoot a tiger," Richards said.

"When I came out to India I thought there was going to be lots of tiger shooting, and I bought a rifle on purpose, but I have never had a chance yet.

Yes, we will certainly get up a tiger hunt, won't we, Wilson?
You will tell us how to set about it, won't you, Doolan ?" "I don't shoot," Captain Doolan said; "and if I wanted to, I am not sure that my wife would give me leave." "Certainly I would not," Mrs.Doolan said promptly.

"Married men have no right to run into unnecessary danger." "Dr.Wade will be able to put you in the way, Mr.Richards," Isobel said.
"Dr.Wade!" Mrs.Rintoul exclaimed.

"You don't mean to say, Miss Hannay, that he is going with us ?" "Yes, he is going for a time, Mrs.Rintoul.My uncle told me that he had applied to go with the detachment, and that the surgeon there would come back to the regiment while he is away." "I do call that hard," Mrs.Rintoul said.
